Cloudstar's Journey COVER

NO-3.jpg

Here it is, the cover for Cloudstar's Journey!  This is the blurb from amazon.com

"In this original Warriors novella, Cloudstar, leader of SkyClan, has watched over his Clanmates at the edge of the forest for many long seasons. But Twolegs are encroaching on SkyClan's land and SkyClan is in danger of being driven away. Cloudstar is forced to turn to the other Clans for help—but will they be willing to come to SkyClan's rescue?"

This means we will be able to see SkyClan in the forest, and, because of the title, we might get to read about SkyClan making the journey to their new home. This also most likely means that we will not see SkyClan leave the clans in Dawn of the Clans as the story is already being told here.

Q&A With Kate

These are questions I've found from fans on Kate's blog and her facebook page, all answered by her! If you haven't read The Last Hope, there are some major spoilers here. Enjoy!

Question:
I just want to ask that did YOU cry when you wrote Firestar's death scene?
Kate: No, but our editor at HarperCollins did and she's tough ;) (I did well up when Ferncloud and Mousefur died)

Question: WHY KATE DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE SPOTTEDLEAF DIE?
Kate: so that Firestar doesn't have to choose between her and Sandstorm in StarClan

Question:Did the Three lose their power after they defeated the Dark Forest?
Kate: No.

Question: Did Squirrelflight and Bramblestar get back together?
Kate: Yep

Question: What happens with the whole Dovewing, Bumblestripe and Tigerheart thing? Does Dovewing pick Bumblestripe or Tigerheart?
Kate: She chooses Bumble

Question: Did Hollyleaf and Fallen Leaves get together in the afterlife? And is Fallen Leaves free from the tunnels now?
Kate: Of course.

More to Yellowfang's Secret


Here is the blurb for Yellowfang's Secret from HarperCollins:

"One secret could destroy them all. . . .

Yellowkit is a ShadowClan cat through and through and she can't wait to become a fearless warrior. Then Yellowkit trains as an apprentice and finally receives her warrior name, Yellowfang—and much to her surprise, she realizes that her paws weren't meant to shed blood. Her true destiny lies as a healer, and she takes her place as ShadowClan's medicine cat apprentice.

But Yellowfang's dreams are haunted by a dark prophecy, and every paw step she takes seems drenched in heartache. As she struggles to separate herself from her warrior past, she realizes that the future she faces is bleak and dim—colored by a devastating secret that could destroy the warrior Clans."

Most people call this book Yellowfang's KNOWN Secret, as she kept the birth of her kits (Brokenstar and two unnamed she-kits who died shortly around the time of their birth.)

But I'm not too sure.

Maybe there's more to Yellowfang's secret than what we already know. For instance, why would StarClan send her a prophecy about her kits dying? Wouldn't it be something that would affect ShadowClan and/or all of the clans? The fact that she went against the Medicine Cat Code cannot "destroy the warrior Clans", as quoted in the blurb.

What do you think the rest of Yellowfang's secret is?
